Excerpt from The Origin of the Chinese People
The death of Dr Ross was a distinct blow to the advancement of Chinese studies. His work, especially in connexion with Manchuria and Korea, needs no bush: had he lived, he would no doubt have added to this volume a prefatory note, which I have now been asked to supply.
In his researches into the origin of the Chinese people, Dr Ross would have nothing to do with the fantastic and unsubstantiated theory which traces the civilization of China, and particularly her script, to the ancient inhabitants of Accadia. His sober judgment claimed that the quest should be carried out among the voluminous records which China herself has to show; and from such sources he derived many forcible arguments, which he has marshalled with considerable skill.
The period here covered begins with the semi-mythical age, some forty-six centuries before Christ, and ends with the Han dynasty, down to about one hundred years before the Christian era.
